Against the World II: Transgression

Against the World II: Transgression
Chapter 45: Mastermind, Part 1


LUCIFER dislikes how Luciel advises Edenia to have the angels descend and interact with humans and other mortal beings. He believed that it was not necessary for heaven to interfere with the lives of people and their allies. If the demons manage to rule their world, it only shows that humans and other mortal beings are not worthy of inhabiting the mortal world.


Lucifer always held firm: their duty was to watch and bear witness to the survival until Edenia herself decided to end all life. A god and an angel must show and symbolize justice, and taking sides with one of the mortal beings is tantamount to abandoning that justice.


Lucifer hated what Luciel did. His brother persuaded Edenia that he would be allowed to lead the angels to help the Islans overcome the demons. And Lucifer hates Edenia more than he chooses to listen to Luciel. As a god, he should understand that the duty of a god is to watch, not interfere. But Edenia complied with Luciel as if she had no standing.


At that moment, Lucifer decided to ignore all his respect for the world and descend from heaven. If Edenia had let Luciel smear the principle of justice, she should have also allowed herself to restore that justice. Lucifer decides to help the demons overcome Luciel and his army. However, to Lucifer's surprise, Edenia calls his name and forbids doing what he intends.


More than that, the god threatened to expel him from heaven if he was desperate to help the demons.


The threat did not stop Lucifer. Day by day his respect for Edenia diminished. If Edenia was serious about her threat, Lucifer would stop looking at her as a god. He would be an enemy of Edenia if necessary. Lucifer is more concerned with his principles than anything else. He'll kill Luciel if it's necessary.


On that day, Lucifer's sacred white wings turned dark black, and the “halo” on top of his head disappeared.


The war ended with the expulsion of the demons back to hell. Lucifer was also dragged straight to hell. He had indeed managed to stop Luciel from slaughtering the demons, but they were impossible to win when Edenia came along with the twelve seraphim guards of the Throne of Heaven. If Lucifer is determined to resist, only a massacre will he get. So he let himself be cast into hell.


In hell, Lucifer immediately claims to be the ruler of hell. He challenges anyone who disagrees. The demons have seen Lucifer's action. They knew fighting it would be futile. Sataniciela is different. As the ruler of the demons, Sataniciela could not accept it. The fight happened. Lucifer had been surprised when his [Complete Annihilation] was unable to destroy the body of the demon, but in the end Sataniciela could be destroyed.


After bringing hell under his control, Lucifer only focused his mind on one thing: how to defeat Edenia?


Lucifer certainly knew how to become a god like Edenia. He only needed to possess the other nine Supreme Magic and then seize the Throne of Heaven. However, Luciel would of course not be silent to let. He also needed to obtain half of Thevetat's soul that the Phoenix burned in order to obtain [Eternal Zero] in full force. More than that, the Phoenix was not a creature he could defeat.


In conclusion, Lucifer wasn't strong enough to get all of Supreme Magic. He certainly had a chance if he could get another Supreme Magic first, but Luciel would definitely try to stop him. His brother was so rude.


Lucifer finally found a solution after several hundred years. He remembered that Edenia had once intervened directly to deal with Vermyna Hellvarossa. The creature claimed by the god could defeat Lucifer and Luciel at once easily. Edenia called it an anomaly. If he can become an anomaly, Lucifer is sure that nothing else will stop him from getting all the Supreme Magic.


Lucifer has no way. He doesn't know how to be an anomaly. There was no trace of anything about Vermyna Hellvarossa. Lucifer doesn't even know what he looks like because Edenia forbade them from intervening. So, Lucifer doesn't have any leads.


The clues finally came hundreds of years later. The clue is in the form of Fie Axellibra. His extraordinary powers reach Lucifer's ears, and Lucifer decides to observe them himself. That clue he got. Lucifer found two souls in the body of the nephilim, but both souls at the same time were one soul. Looking further, Lucifer finally learns that Fie was born twice.


Lucifer spent several years thinking about and comparing Fie Axellibra to Vermyna Hellvarossa, trying to find common ground.


But, it's hard. He has nothing that can connect the present time to the former. He had no idea what Edenia had done to Vermyna Hellvarossa. So, Lucifer can't rely on Beelzebub to use his time-spinning magic. He has to think about it himself.


Decades later, Lucifer stopped thinking about how to become an anomaly. He changed the question: why did Edenia call Vermyna Hellvarossa an anomaly? What is the real anomaly?


Thinking of the two questions, Lucifer recalled the words of Edenia. He could not reach Vermyna Hellvarossa with the Throne of Heaven. Normally Edenia would only use the Throne of Heaven to do something to mortal beings. However, against Vermyna he had to intervene on his own. What does being an anomaly mean to be beyond the influence of the Throne of Heaven?


To confirm this, Lucifer again tells Beelzebub to use time-spinning magic. He asks the devil to show him Fie's time to the future. The Nephilim have no real future. The timeline was pseudo, and it only showed Fie with her two white wings. Beelzebub can't show Fie with black or white wings. He can twist into the past, but into the future he can't.


Knowing that was enough to make Lucifer draw a conclusion: being an anomaly means being outside the timeline defined by the Throne of Heaven. Being an anomaly means being in a dimension unaffected by time, being a four-dimensional being. In other words, he would have to transcend into a four-dimensional being if he wanted to become an anomaly.


Knowing that, another question came: how could he escape the timeline (or destiny) that the Throne of Heaven determined?


And as the question comes to pass, Lucifer's mind returns to memory as Beelzebub shows Fie being born twice at a time. At that time he laughed until he confused Beelzebub and Mammon.


To become an anomaly, the primary condition must be born twice. The first birth puts a person under the influence of the Throne of Heaven, and the second birth makes that influence disappear. So the conclusion that appeared in Lucifer's head along with his unusual laughter.


However, the laughter quickly subsided. Lucifer is an angel (falling), and all angels were created directly by Edenia. Angels are not born. If so, had he never been under the influence of the Throne of Heaven?


…And Lucifer was again immersed in long thought.

#Well, again summarizing. Part II will still be. If it were written as usual, it would be a volume. You don't want to read one volume about Lucifer's past, do you? So, just summarize.
